PADDY GORMLEY

Writer/Teacher/Presenter

Paddy Gormley’s wide-ranging interests include writing, presenting, teaching, philosophising and facilitating by way of Socratic Dialogue. His long-standing interest in the metaphysics and evolution of ideas has led him to develop his own models for the creative process, which he applies in in many aspects of his work.

Many of Paddy Gormley’s projects have their own websites, often featuring click-to-play audio and video recordings. Such resources include excerpts from AWL readings, studio recordings, archive theatre footage and audio-visual teaching presentations.

Besides being a long standing member, Paddy was AWL Web Co-ordinator from 2001-2004, then became Chairman from 2004-2008. He continues to serve AWL as Web Developer (he created the database which powers this website), rehearsal photographs, and Correspondence Co-ordinator.
